Tell me what shotgun I have

[Outlaw99]

I inherited this from my late grandfather. I’m having trouble identifying the model. Also, can anyone tell me the age and where I might locate a stock and the appropriate hardware to put it all back together again? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is it a bottom eject? (can't see the other side). Could be a Remington model 10

Yes, bottom eject

I dont know those shotguns well, but remington made bottom eject pumps models 10, 17, 29 and 31. I think the 17 may have only been available as a 20ga, not certain. You can almost certainly figure out model and date of manufacture with that serial #.
I believe based on serial # alone you have a model 10 from after 1913 and pre-1919 based on the serial #. But take that with a big grain of salt.
A couple links for you to check out:
*See page 11–apparently there are no records available before this, and by 1919 they were already at serial #’s well above yours. https://www.remingtonsociety.org/factory-record-book-serials/

Also, perhaps relevant for yours, see the note on post 1913 serial #’s. Also note the comment about steel and short shotshells—could be worth having it professionally inspected by someone who is well versed on old shotguns to ensure you keep all your fingers and toes. You can buy short low-pressure shotshells from RST if needed. https://www.gunboards.com/threads/remington-model-10-date-code.372738/

I would post on a collector site if you want to try to find a stock or more info. Theres a few stocks on ebay purporting to be model 10 stocks, but I dont know if there are peculiarties of different eras, etc—the typical
advice is to get a stock serial-numbered as close as possible to your action serial # for best fit, but I dont know if thats relevant for you. (The 29’s were late production and yours is fairly early) Could be a long search potentially, and youd probably still need to have it hand-fitted, that was generally still the era of hand-fitted parts where you couldnt count on a part to just fit without hand work with a file, etc.
